Default The Music Banter Members' Journals Update Thread, June 2017


Ah, June! Summer is just around the corner: here in Ireland you can tell by there only being six and a half days of rain. Enjoy it while you can.

For a whole month there hasn't been a terrible amount of activity here, but then I have suspended all my journals while I concentrate on my novels, so who am I to point the finger?

So let's see who has been putting in a shift over the last month. No, I told you, I'm writing ... oh, forget it!


And we kick off as http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...l-pleases.html and what he pleases this month is to review Courtney Barnett, Alanis Morisette , Run the Jewels and rather a lot of Soundgarden.

Next up is “Flamenco Guitar Albums you have to hear” in http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...o-journal.html, with Paco de Lucia, Vicente Amigo, Rafel Riqueni, Manolo Sanlucar, Tomatito and more. Also "Palos of flamenco part three: Alegria"

A rare journal from Exo, who doesn't do journals, but this time he, well, is. http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...d-section.html brins us the Stevenson Ranch Davidians, Haisuinonasa, Living Hour, Covet and more.

http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...r-journal.html is one thing. Getting wasted with style when you're broke is quite another. Frownland slavers over Dogfish Head (huh?) in “The Drool Section”. Yeah.

Now, http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...obably-dl.html, one of which is Belle and Sebastian's Tigermilk while

http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...nnerspace.html include the Orb and Moondog, while there's more making fun of the less technologically savvy in http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...rds-9-5-a.html.

Seems Kanye West Month didn't last. Degenerated, or developed if you prefer, into a discussion about the trashiness of the cover art on Life of Pablo and then Ki gave it up. He's also talking now about Chris Cornell, all down in http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...usic-hall.html, while 20XX gets the treatment over at http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...is-arcade.html. As if that wasn't enough, there's also http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...an-do-you.html with Daniel Bedingfield, Ryan Cabrera and Devin Townsend. Finally there are more deep musings, along with some pretty cool pictures, in http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...iii-story.html.

There's so much to take in when Mordor's http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...c-odyssey.html that I don't have time to write it all down, but talking Mike Oldfield, Sufjan Stevens, Catherine Ribeiro and Tim Buckley, as well as a whole lot of prog rock.

http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...cking-out.html include Kristoffer Alberts/Lasse Marhaug and Cabaret Voltaire, courtesy of Occulthawk.

Oriphiel continues the story of http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...rgy-story.html and also has a new journal, http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...ove-story.html, which is proceeding nicely.

And Hey (!) () http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...t-you-yac.html wraps it up for this month, with an interesting exchange between Yac and Batty, see below.

Someone, well, Frownland, said Neapolitan is one of the funniest members on here. I don't see it personally, but that's just me. But once again the winner of
Funny Post

of the Month
is pretty much the undisputed jester of the forum, our very own Batty, who when presented with this video in Yac's journal
came up with this response:

In fact, you know, fuck it. I know this was unintentional by him, but in the same post Yac came up with this hilarious gem, so I'm gonna have the two of them share the award. Oops! A fan of Hitler and a Pole: could be trouble a-brewin' here!

Goes to Mordor for this gem, which succinctly demonstrates what stuck-up cunts we prog heads can often be:

First sample is a recent and out-of-the-way band called Birds and Buildings. As we sat enjoying ice cream one day, my friend told me about this band. I mentioned that I'd never heard of them, and he smugly said, "Of course not."
And that's it. I'm off to enjoy the Irish summer with my cats. Well, you know...

See ya some other time!
Toodles!
